LETTER: Reader thankful for utility workers during weeklong outages

I would like to thank the crews that have worked many hours to help Michigan communities get power back after one of the worst ice storms ever. The workers put their holiday aside so that others could get their power back and enjoy the holidays. Utility workers are the first responders that everyone forgets about. I would like to thank everyone who did everything that they could to help. Crews never stopped working; it was a long and cold week. They had a great deal of safety issues that they worked around successfully to get the power back on. Again, thank you for making a difference.
